15. 15 Our approach -Prevention- Provide immediate feedback when the customer takes action. During the process of listing and posting comments, give the following feedback • “You don’t create this content” • “You lack the required information to create”
16. 16 Our approach Detection Prevention Pros * Provide highly accurate feedback. * Customer is able to understand the violation or not of violations at the time of action. Cons * As the number of detections increases, the labor cost increases * Slow feedback causes hassle and disappointment for the customer * If it takes a long time to validate the item, the number of listings may go down * May give feedback that misses the point
